I've been on a cot damn journey looking for these things!!! Have not found any

Went to:
JCP
WALMART
TARGET
MACY'S
SEARS...

Boutta hit up some sports stores tommorow like sports authority
I got mine from Macy's. Alfani is the brand.
 
Snow wasn't too bad so I hit up GAP to try on the Lived In Slim Khakis you guys have mentioned. The sale rack had a couple of colors labeled $29.99 from $49.99... get to check out and they were $10!!!

If you are a fan definitely hit up your GAP and see what you can score.. the only colors that were $10 were Purple, Burnt Orange and "Pine Needle Green". I'm in Queens btw

And a big thanks to the Dressing Better thread for putting me onto these :smokin

ive been meaning to check out the new lived in skinny khakis. I have a pair of slim but I dont like the big leg opening on them
 
For dinner tonight:


Suit by Thick As Thieves
Tie and pocket square by The Tie Bar
Tie bar and lapel pin by Suited Man

This looks great man, I just think that you have one too many things going on here. I'd remove that lapel pin next time if I were you.
 
Lucky: I'm not sure how much you've lost and how many more lbs you plan on shedding, but something to keep in mind...you lose weight from all over, including your feet. Something you wanna keep in mind until you reach your goal so you don't splurge on new footwear now. I went down .5 size after my weight lost.
 
That's crazy.. Was in a sz 11 at 260lbs and still the same at 174lbs right now.. But I know for a fact my feet shrunk in highschool, I had started buying sz 12 kicks then a year later they were all too big, no change in weight or anything else.

Dude, I thought I was crazy myself. I was always a size 9 in Nikes and Jordans at about 180-190 lbs. When I ballooned up to 220 lbs, I felt the shoes were a bit tight so I started buying 9.5. When I dropped down to 145 lbs, I noticed the shoes were loose fitting. I don't really wear Nikes and J's anymore, but I bought those retro Vs a while back (2-3 years ago) in 8.5 and they fit fine. I also bought those leopard print AM 1s in a women's 10 and they were on the money.

Congrats on your weight lost too! Nearly 100 lbs.
 
Appreciate it.. I just picked up some lunar guards for running which is the only pair of Nikes i've worn in 2 years. On on the topic of wearing things sparingly, I realized the other day that i haven't worn jeans since August..

 Been literally rotating between 4 pairs of Alpha khakis..

Lucky- as Wis said, dependent on how much you want to lose, i wouldn't throw much money at any article of clothing.. I was stupid with trying to keep up with my weightloss and still have a closet full of clothes with tags from sz 35-40 and L-XL.. It's sickening. Eventually it will all to go people who could put use to it.
 
When I was still losing weight I just wore t shirts, hoodies, Levi's 514 and Chucks. Everything bought from Macy's with stackable coupons. I was really determined at the time. I'd come home to eat and worked out twice a day. Also, Rocky IV soundtrack does wonder! :lol still got it on the iPod to this day.
 
I got like 50 more lbs to go LOL, I guess I`ll have to cop some basic dirt cheap polos and pants from Target because I`m to the point where all my pants fold at the crotch because I~m using the last hole on my size 46 belts and the 40s and 42s are falling off my behind, I think I`m at like a 38 waist right now down from 46 or 48 at my biggest. But alot of my clothes are becoming un wearable, and I might as well give all my suits and blazers to good will because they are beyond Chopa suits now. I Think when the time comes for me to Start my new wardrobe I`m gonna go real classic like on the James bond type steeze, no logos or anything just nice thick materials, and I wanna be a real good pair of denim too. And Jack Purcell are becoming my fav kicks they are more spacious then chucks.

me in a nutshell between '09-'10.. except regretfully, I was buying RL pieces, nudies, etc.. 

Lucky- I stopped giving to goodwill, I dropped off 15+ pairs of jeans, RL, starter jackets, the works.. I got enough clothes that I will never wear to start my own goodwill (and I will sort to speak)

my suggestion, donate to family or friends who you know will wear it (friends are usually unappreciative of secondhand, but I had a few cousins in foster homes and it was like christmas to them), or sell pieces and donate the funds to a charity if you like.. Goodwill just rubs me the wrong way, so my last donation went to a homeless shelter, the gear that was in those bags.

Man, I'm getting amped to go work out later now. Before I started working, I used to watch the Rocky saga so many times :lol

The whole soundtrack is super dope. This and trap music is what I play while at the gym.

Working out on Sunday afternoon and evening is the best. Gym is empty so you can use all machines and exercise room to your liking. Conversely, Mondays suck because its always pack.
 
Those look great! Rubber soles are meh, but for casual wear those would be awesome! Where did you find them?
